Not sure what to say?

My son is home from USNA Prep school for Thanksgiving. He was telling me that every M/C learns the story of Travis Manion. Greyson was very impacted by his mantra "If not me, then who". What an incredible example of military service and sacrifice.

May God bless his family. Thank you for your service.

If not me then who?

With a loving heart
A giant among men
Choosing to stand in service
Saying "If not me then who?"

With a soft and caring manner
Desiring to give his all
A life will lived
Saying "If not me then who?"

Choosing the path most difficult
One who came forward
Defending freedom
Saying "If not me then who?"

Always a champion
He had a sharp edge
Still running, still achieving
Saying "If not me then...

Isaiah 6:8. Still in the fight brother. Miss you.

As Memorial Day approaches, remembering Travis and Brendan and all the members o the service that made the ultimate sacrifice.

Remembering Travis and the whole Manion family on this sad anniversary. God Bless.

I'm currently stationed on Camp Manion in Iraq. 29 Apr 2017 we participated in the Manion Challenge on the 10th anniversary of his passing. It meant a lot to me to be able to be here for that and to challenge myself in this event. Travis Manion is a true American Hero. He will forever live on!

Prayers and condolences to the Manion Family. Thank you for raising a wonderful young man. Thanking all the active and non-active members of our service for all you do!

Rest in peace brave young soldiers. May God continue to have mercy on your souls and keep your families and loved ones safe in his loving arms.
